Arizona: Cottonwood City Council member ousted in recall

Cottonwood City Councilmember Lisa DuVernay lost her recall election, 2073-1033 (66.7-33.3%) to former Cottonwood Interim Police Chief Chris Dowell. DuVernay is accused of showing what it calls a pornographic video at a council meeting in August. It appears the video was of a drag show. DuVernay, a conservative member of the council, was pushing for a ban on drag shows where minors are present.

The Council managed to delay the recall by failing to get a quorum. The recall was moved from the July primary. Petitioners needed 361 signatures. 

A second recall against Councilmember Derek Paosaari over accusations of sexual harassment failed to submit signatures.
